While it is frequently described as a yellow supergiant, especially in evolutionary terms, [2] it is classified as a bright giant based on spectrum.

The massive RSGC1 cluster contains 14 red supergiants and one yellow supergiant. [8]Yellow supergiants have a relatively narrow range of temperatures corresponding to their spectral types, from about 4,000 K to 7,000 K. [9] Their luminosities range from about 1,000 L ☉ upwards, with the most luminous stars exceeding 100,000 L ☉.
Intrinsic variable types in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram showing the Yellow Hypergiants above (i.e. more luminous than) the Cepheid instability strip. A yellow hypergiant (YHG) is a massive star with an extended atmosphere, a spectral class from A to K, and, starting with an initial mass of about 20–60 solar masses, has lost as much as half that mass.
While it is frequently described as a yellow supergiant, especially in evolutionary terms, [16] it is classified as a bright giant based on spectrum. [17] [16] List of nearest supergiants: Nearest hypergiant: μ Cephei (Herschel's Garnet Star) 3,060 light-years (940 pc) [18] Nearest carbon star: CW Leonis: 310 light-years (95 pc) Nearest M-type ...
B324 is a yellow hypergiant in the Triangulum Galaxy, located near the giant H II region IC 142 around 2.7 million light years away. It is the brightest star in the Triangulum Galaxy in terms of apparent magnitude .
The nearest yellow giant, together with Capella A. With a magnitude of 0.08, [11] the Capella star system is the 6th-brightest star in the night sky.

HD 271182, occasionally referred to as G266 and R92, is a rare yellow hypergiant (YHG) and an Alpha Cygni variable.It is one of the brightest stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), [10] positioned in the deep southern constellation of Dorado.
HD 33579 is a white/yellow hypergiant and one of the brightest stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It is a suspected variable star.. HD 33579 lies in a part of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram referred to as the Yellow Evolutionary Void because stars with that combination of luminosity and temperature are extremely unstable.
